Encompassing everything that Hidden UK Gems is about, Bar Silo is all kinds of brilliant. This is the kind of place you discover and want to tell everyone about. Voted the coolest venue in the county & located in Golant, Fowey, they are a family run business with a passion for live music, local seasonal food and great hospitality. This is a rustic, authentic hideout where good drinks and good people come together in a space that’s wildly creative.

What began life as a farm building is now one of Cornwall’s most characterful bars, filled with reclaimed materials, hanging greenery and candlelight. The drinks list leans seasonal and local, expect small-batch spirits, natural wines, foraged infusions and clever twists on classics. Whether it’s a wild negroni, elderflower spritz or spiced rum punch, everything is mixed with care and served with style.

Bar Silo isn’t open every night, this is a place that pops up with purpose. Look out for live music sessions, pop-up food nights, art residencies and seasonal feasts. It’s also available for private hire, with the kind of laid-back charm that makes you want to gather your favourite people and settle in.

If you’re looking for something a little off the beaten path, somewhere that feels intimate, inventive and full of personality, then this is it. You’re sure to experience warm welcomes, creative energy and the gentle clink of glasses under the fairy lights.

A hidden gem in the truest sense, Bar Silo is a little bit magic and a lot worth shouting about.
